Academics as a Profession: Management Teaching

Management Teaching:

Since the onset of liberalization, Indian economy has turned capitalist. It is no more considered bad to make money. The business of India is going to be business! Here lies an excellent opportunity to engage in national building, in a career which is considered a "noble profession". More importantly, given the tilt towards the capitalist mode of economy, all aspects of Indian economy need insights of management. What better way to work your way up the academic professional ladder than by taking a plunge to teach the young, aspiring minds and make them better managers for tomorrow!

Shortage of Quality Faculty in management education:

Invariably, all the expert committees that have been constituted to revamp the higher education sector have laid great emphasis on building the pool of quality faculty who can contribute to expansion of education sector.

Following this IIMs have made a very conscious effort to expand their FPM programme by drastically increasing their intake each year (Fellow Programme in Management; a doctoral level rigorous programme that gives the depth and breadth in the discipline needed to be a quality faculty)
The student intake in this prestigious programme has gone up from single digits to a few dozens.

With attractive stipend, great stimulating intellectual environment and a brand name recognised worldwide, this is the best launch pad for any serious academician who wants to make a name in this field
